Brantford Ontario Police Service

When the Brantford Police Service in Ontario, Canada entered the accreditation process in 2000, there were a number of training issues that needed to be addressed. In particular was the training of personnel to meet the requirements of Standard 1.2.9 on bias based profiling. The training was designed and scheduled to take place over a five-week period, so that all members of the Police Service could attend the one-hour session. During the first week, a member of the Drug Unit attended and received training that included instruction on the difference between racial profiling and criminal profiling.
